Paperback. Condition: New. Stereotypes are beliefs about groups of people. Some examples, taken from human rights case law, are the notions that 'Roma are thieves', 'women are responsible for childcare', and 'people with a mental disability are incapable of forming political opinions'. Increasingly, human rights monitoring bodies including the European and inter-American human rights courts, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, and the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination voice concerns about stereotyping and warn States not to enforce harmful stereotypes. Human rights bodies thus appear to be starting to realise what social psychologists discovered a long time ago: that stereotypes underlie inequality and discrimination. Despite their relevance and their legal momentum, however, stereotypes have so far received little attention from human rights law scholars. This volume is the first one to broadly analyse stereotypes as a human rights issue. The scope of the book includes different stereotyping grounds such as race, gender, and disability. Moreover, this book examines stereotyping approaches across a broad range of supranational human rights monitoring bodies, including the United Nations human rights treaty system as well as the regional systems that are most developed when it comes to addressing stereotypes: the Council of Europe and the inter-American system. …

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. EU gender equality law has expanded considerably in scope, evolving from its modest origins as a single provision on equal pay in the 1957 Treaty of Rome into a complex body of Treaty provisions, directives, and case law that shapes gender equality across the Member States. The pace of the legal developments can make the field challenging to navigate for practitioners, policymakers, and academics alike. EU Gender Equality Law: Concepts, Practice, Challenges provides an essential guide through this multifaceted area of law.The book offers a comprehensive English-language analysis of this dynamic field, written by three leading scholars in equality, EU, and human rights law. Grounded in feminist legal theory and taking a law-in-context approach, the book address achievements and current limitations of the legislation, CJEU case law, and implementation at the EU and national levels. It also gives attention to the most recent directives, including in particular the Work-Life Balance and Pay Transparency Directives.Core concepts such as sex and gender, equality, and different forms of discrimination are examined, not only within the general foundations of EU law but also in the broader context of international human rights law. The book provides in-depth discussions of equal pay; gender equality at work; pregnancy, maternity, and work-life balance; equal access to goods and services; and effective enforcement.Throughout, EU Gender Equality Law moves beyond the current state of the law and practice, critically reflecting on the role law can play in sustaining inequality. It also takes a forward-looking perspective, exploring possibilities the law offers to address structural gender inequality and to contribute to transformative equality. This book offers a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to EU gender equality legislation, case law, and enforcement. It examines discrimination, equal pay, employment, work-life balance, and access to goods and services, exploring throughout how EU law can address structural gender inequality.
